Quick trip to US and Canada
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2012 3:44 am
This was this morning's dream ... a stress dream, I think.
I was with some other young women, much younger than me, but they seemed to be students. That's how I think I hooked up with them.
A very last minute thing ... we were all going on a trip together. Because it was last minute, I was stressed and not enjoying the process (usually I'm very good at impromptu stuff). We were going to the U.S. then Canada.
I knew it was going to be cold in Canada and I'm from a warm weather place. I only have one pair of boots, and they're getting old and have high heels. I was worried that they'd be too daggy and that the heels may break off while I was away (have had that happen before).
We had discussions about what we were going to do there. I would be driving the hire car and we'd start in north west U.S.A. and drive up into Canada. I would drop each of the girls off at some point, so I'd be left driving around by myself.
I commented 'well at least all our signs look the same, so I won't feel too much out of my comfort zone'. Something along those lines.
The main girl who'd been organising it, had also organised for me to stay with some people she knew. So I was a bit stressed about staying with strangers, but was confident they'd be kind to me.
Back to the boots ... I had imagined having to buy new boots, and was picturing some high fashion boots with a high spikey heel. The girl said, no, they're casual (relaxed) in Canada, so just wear the boots you've got. You'll fit right in. (My boots are nice, but just not high fashion.)
I was also worried about money because I have a finite pool, with no planned income.
At one point, we were all lined up in a room waiting to collect things to do with the trip. Heaps of other people were lined up in this little room, and it seemed to be selling food, like a really small canteen. The line wove back and forth so we could all fit in this little room. In the line ahead was Ted Danson, and he was like his Becker character. Grumpy. I said something to him, he shot back. Not sure what the point of that was. I think one of the girls told me not to talk to anyone. *Addition: everyone was wearing white. Kind of like something you'd see in the middle east - long over shirts, over trousers. All men I think?
At some point I could see myself driving through U.S./Canada, but I'm not sure if it was because I was there or because I was thinking ahead and trying to get it in my mind, what was going to happen.
I woke up with a song 'Oh Canada' going through my mind.
END OF DREAM
This dream, as I think of it, brings up a flash of a dream I had a while back where I was travelling overseas (to several spots in Europe) and was stressed about it.
I'd like to travel OS, so I don't know why these dreams have had so much stress attached to them. Maybe it's because I don't seem to know WHY I'm going there, and NOTHING'S planned. It's thrown on me at the last minute. I don't need to plan much IRL, but this is ridiculous.
